1

Get the onions crying

To start off, slice 4 large onions into thin strips. Don't be afraid to shed a tear or two! Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat, then add the onions. Cook them for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and caramelized.

2

Show them some sweetness

Now, add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the pot with the onions. This will give them a hint of sweetness that even the pickiest eaters won't be able to resist. Stir it in and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

3

Broth it up

Next, pour in 6 cups of beef broth and 1 cup of chicken broth. This combination adds depth of flavor and richness to the soup. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

4

Float those cheesy croutons

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the soup is simmering, place some slices of French bread on a baking sheet. Top each slice with a generous amount of shredded Gruyère cheese. Pop the sheet in the oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5

Serve up the goodness

You're almost there! Ladle the French Onion Soup into bowls and carefully place a cheesy crouton on top of each serving. The ooey-gooey melty cheese will be irresistible, even to those with the pickiest taste buds. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.
